AEEC Industry Groups

The AEEC Industry Workforce Solution Program relies on close collaboration with industry representatives and the businesses they represent. Achieving statewide impact—specifically changing the perception of technical education and emphasizing the importance of acquiring practical skills to access well-paying jobs early in a student's career—requires coordinated and synchronized action across all key industries within each state and region. Industry groups support all objectives established by AEEC, ensuring the delivery of a comprehensive, fully functional workforce development program.
